Located near Branson, Missouri Power Steering Services was incorporated in 1995. The company is owned and operated by Chip Woyner, a long-time car enthusiast and muscle car owner.

After a 20+year career as a Firefighter, Paramedic and EMS administrator, Chip Woyner decided to leave the service industry and travel a different road. Building on his favorite past times of restoring old cars and trucks, Chip built a new business around restoration. As a young man, he loved automobiles and what made them work. Being a Machinist Mate in the United States Navy gave him the basis for this mechanical education and graduating from Greer Automotive Tech Institute in Chicago. Chip has incorporated his love for old cars with his management abilities to develop a unique restorative service for classic car enthusiasts.

As new technology emerged in the auto industry, more muscle car owners expressed the desire to have their old cars drive and handle like their newer vehicles, without costly major changes to the car\’s original engineering. Chip’s first challenge was to his own 1969 Oldsmobile 442. The slow 20:1 constant ratio gearbox seemed to take all day to go from lock-to-lock and was the inspiration for the fast-ratio steering conversion. Today, Chip has rebuilt & restored hundreds of steering gears both power steering and manual. As a small re-builder and re-manufacturer of power and manual steering gearboxes and power steering pumps for cars and light trucks as well as classics and specialty vehicles like postal Jeeps, airport tugs, Fords, AMC’s & Dodge trucks. “Fast Ratio” conversions are a large part of the business, converting Saginaw & Delphi power steering gearboxes from the old 20:1 ratio or 16/13:1 variable ratio (4+ turns lock to lock) to 12.7:1 constant ratio (3 turns or less lock to lock). Regular “complete” rebuilds with no ratio changes are also available for cars, trucks and specialty vehicles.

Chip has dedicated himself to high standards and excellence in rebuilding products back to factory specifications and beyond. His limited lifetime warranty attests to his attitude of “I only want to rebuild it once.” He works on each unit as though it were going on his car. And being a former paramedic, he is always aware that someone\’s life may depend on that gearbox! You can feel confident that your steering needs will be handled quickly, professionally and at a competitive price. Chip sources the most expensive, high quality USA & Canadian made steering components to ensure you receive the very best! Chip’s commitment to quality workmanship has made Power Steering Services one of the premier choices among car enthusiasts for standard rebuilds and fast ratio conversions.

Testimonials

"Chip, I received both boxes on Tuesday, and everything looks absolutely great! PS pump looks like it did in 1968! Steering box looks perfect---I love the finish, the date codes showing thru and the Saginaw logo. Thanks for making my steering parts look like new again! Merry Christmas!"

"Chip, I finally got a chance to install the box you sent me. It is on a 2001 Dodge 4x4 diesel. All I can say is wow. The difference is amazing. I had spent a small fortune on this truck. I had converted to the 98 T style steering, and had also installed the DSS stabilizer. Nothing made as much difference in the way the truck drives as the new box did. The install only took about an hour. I followed your instructions and I had no problems. Even with the ratio change, the truck is still very easy to turn when not moving. Highway speeds are much better now. The constant correction I was having to do before is gone and the truck responds like a new one. I’ll get the core on the way back to you. Thanks."

"I read the Car Craft article, and I went through all this 3 years ago. There are small problems associated with all the swaps as pointed out in the CC article. I sent my original '66 power steering box and pump to: Chip Woyner, 2347 E. Kearney, Springfield, MO 65803, www.powersteering.com.He rebuilt my original 24-1 box into a 12.7:1 and rebuilt my original pump to match the box, sold me new hoses, and taught me all about power steering set-ups (knowledge which I did not retain). But what I did retain is this, If you want to mess with all the hassle of trying to find used parts (then pray they actually work) and swap all of in, then maybe it will work out as you want and maybe it will need doing again to get it right, you can. But what I did is fool proof. And everyone who drives my car comments on the steering. It is great!! It comes back clean, black, like new, ready to bolt on and use with no problems, guaranteed. Chip is famous in other circles, that's how I found him. He is a good, honest, easy to talk to man and I highly recommend him and his company.The guy who did my front end alignment again this spring after I put all needed new parts in the front of my '66 drove it after he aligned it came back with a big smile, "There are NO old cars that drive like that" he says. Well we both know that was just paying a compliment, but if I do say so, it is impressive, I wish I would have done this many years ago.BTW I swapped a used "Quick ratio box" onto the car before I did the rebuilding thing and had problems. Mostly due to the pump and the box being mismatched, but the box was also less than perfect. I am thankful I found Chip. He's the Man!! with power, and manual, steering.This has been a non paid non political public service announcement."

"Chip, I would like to thank you for all of the help in getting original power steering for my wife's 1966 Olds. Her enjoying this car would not be possible if not for the extra lengths you went to making sure we had the right parts, and the extra steps you went to when we ran into a couple of issues. You were absolutely right, with this power steering and especially the 12.7:1 ratio, it makes driving the car a more pleasurable experience. My wife is amazed at the fact she can drive down the road and steer her car with one finger instead of fighting it to turn corners and park. The second pulley for the pump you send worked perfect and actually allowed my mechanic to un-shim the pump almost all of the way, making the pump have a sturdier mount. If I hear of anyone needing original power steering for their Olds vehicle, your name and number will be the one I give along with the highest recommendations as the leader in your field. Thanks for everything."

"Chip, I wanted to let you know that I finished installing the power steering on my Chevrolet Chevelle. I works like a dream! I should have done that years ago! I appreciate your help and patience, and love the results. Thanks again."

"IT was well worth the money. My 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle never handled better. I feel the road again. Thanks again!"

"The May 2000 issue of Muscle Car Review contained an article ("How To Upgrade Your GM Power Steering Box," p. 60) highlighting a GM power steering box upgrade by Power Steering Services. I was rebuilding the front suspension of my '69 GTO, and the article was very timely. I called Power Steering Services and spoke with Chip Woyner. Mr. Woyner was incredibly helpful and patient. I had never worked on a power steering unit and I had numerous questions. His assurances regarding how the upgrade would improve handling and his offer to provide guidance if I ran into difficulty removing or replacing the equipment convinced me to complete the upgrade.Power Steering Services completed the work within the promised time frame, and Mr. Woyner immediately answered e-mail questions I sent regarding installation of the box. The project was a success and I would recommend this upgrade for all GM musclecar owners. I only wish that every vendor in this musclecar hobby was as squared away as Power Steering Services (No, I don't own stock. I've never met Mr. Woyner or anyone else associated with the company)."

"The steering box you sent me I have now installed and it has cured the problem I was having for 7 years. I was too stupid to know that 4 and 1/4 turns was even available let alone be put in my 1998 Doge Ram 12V 2500 by some factory worker that did not know or care. The box you sent, 3 turns plus 20 degrees and I knew immediately it would make a big difference which it has. The truck steers the way a truck should: straight down the road, no nonsense. I hate to admit I drove semis for 16 years in 48 states and did not know why my damn Ram did not steer as it should. One of your customers wrote in about his problem to Turbo Diesel Register (TDR) and that you had answered his questions and put him on the right track. Because of him I phoned you and got an education which I do so very much appreciate. I was impressed with the Borgeson shaft. My old one had a rubber connection that would probably have been OK for non-power steering but I could see no use for it and evidently Borgeson does not like it either. I wrote in to TDR about my episode to try to be of help to others with the same problem and mentioned I got the rebuilt box from you and I hope that will generate some business for you. Best regards."

"I realized that you were underpaid by about three dollars or so. I tried to guess close but still missed the mark a little. Please accept a a small token of my appreciation for the FLAWLESS work your shop has performed for me. Power Steering Services, Inc. is highly recommended on the boards for good reason. The Saginaw box is OEM perfect. Thank you Chip, I look forward to recommending you as well."

"I can't be more delighted with the 12.7:1 quick ration conversion, blueprinting and power steering pump rebuild on our 1974 AMC Javelin AMX. When I turn the wheel, it has more effort and turns instantly that direction. Now, it responds just like a modern car with rack and pinion steering. Your conversion is simply amazing and is a must have for classic hot rods and muscle cars like mine. I thought I was going to have live with zero feedback and ultra slow response but not anymore thanks to Power Steering Services. Fantastic job on the show detailing too and well worth the price (it gives us a little extra edge at the shows, just went to my first yesterday). Your personalized instructions allowed my buddy and I to R&R the gear box and power steering pump ourselves with great results. Thanks for the great product and top notch service. I highly recommend your conversion to anyone with an AMC Javelin, AMX or Javelin AMX!"

"Just a note to let you know how much I appreciate you and your work. A few years back you rebuilt my box and pump from my 1966 Cutlass and the result was just great. It is a joy to drive and I couldn't be happier. You were great to talk to and your work was perfect. Since then I have seen people all over the net on every board I go to telling the same type of story about how happy they were with your work. I take every chance I get to post my little story about the difference in my car as well. The recurring theme is always the same, everyone is really happy with what you have done for us. That's all I wanted, just to tell you personally how happy everyone is with you. Never saw anything negative. You're the best."
